Direct answer
Bel Air is a gated community in Huntington Beach, California, built by Christopher Homes around 2005 to 2006 with roughly 102 homes. This is the Huntington Beach community named Bel Air, not the Los Angeles neighborhood. It sits inland in the Holly-Seacliff area near Promenade Parkway and Gothard Street, with a community pool, spa, and barbecue area. Some sources group it with Seacliff and others describe it as west Huntington Beach, so the neighborhood label is worth confirming for a specific purpose.

Overview
Bel Air is a gated Huntington Beach community built by Christopher Homes in the mid-2000s, roughly 2005 to 2006, with about 102 homes. It sits inland in the Holly-Seacliff area, off Promenade Parkway and Gothard Street, reached via Seagate Drive, with interior streets that include Roxbury Lane and Brookline. The homes are Mediterranean and Spanish in style, two and three stories, generally around 2,400 to 2,665 square feet with three to four bedrooms and two-car garages.
Two points are worth setting straight up front. First, the name: this is Huntington Beach's Bel Air, unrelated to the Los Angeles neighborhood. Second, the location: Bel Air is near the Seacliff golf course but not on it. It's an inland community with golf proximity, not fairway frontage, and at least one local source files it under west Huntington Beach rather than Seacliff. The community amenities include a pool, spa, and barbecue and picnic area.
Ratowsky Group reads Bel Air on the specific home and current comparable sales. One detail to pin down per listing is the home type: sources describe Bel Air variously as detached single-family and as attached townhome-style product, so the structure type should be confirmed against the listing and assessor record before an offer.
What to confirm
Bel Air is served by more than one association: sources cite a primary HOA managed by Keystone around the mid-two-hundreds per month plus a smaller Seagate-area association, together covering the gate, common areas, and the pool, spa, and barbecue amenities. Confirm the current dues, the associations involved, and the coverage against the HOA documents for the specific home.
School assignment for Bel Air is generally cited as Agnes L. Smith Elementary, Ethel Dwyer Middle School, and Huntington Beach High School, a different elementary than the golf-side Seacliff communities. Verify attendance at the address with the districts. Confirm the detached-versus-attached home type, and pull current comparable sales rather than relying on a published range, since recorded Bel Air sales over the past decade have spanned a wide band.
